From a friend...

1) Joe needs to pack SCOTUS in December while Kamala can still serve as tie-breaker in the Senate.
2) Joe needs to resign on Jan. 1 and allow Kamala to become President #47 for 3 weeks.
3) President Harris needs to issue a series of popular executive orders that Trump will have to reverse on day 1.

Kamala will become one of the most consequential and precedent-setting Vice Presidents and Presidents in US history.

This looks like just an ordinary Guillemot but if you look closely at the eye, the faint white circle and line indicate it is a much more unusual Bridled Guillemot. Taken at Bempton Cliffs RSPB reserve in Yorkshire.

Found in the social media intertubes:

There is no freedom in this country if I am required to carry a loaded weapon while teaching  English Language Arts, but am not trusted to select the books in my classroom or tell students who | married.

@mattsheffield One more item in a long list of things they lose it over...

I wonder how much the generational differences have to do with attitudes about what's safe to say and what isn't. In other words, more recent generations are a lot more open than my (boomer) generation, by a lot.

An awful lot of our politics today are about the right wing losing it: demographics, cultural shift, the coming end of the fossil fuel age and all the power relationships that go with it. Fun times.

They used to laugh and call him names.

… used to.

I think everyone whose response to the financial struggles of an artist is , "well, you should have gone into tech or something useful" should have to go 30 days with no reading, no TV, no movies, no museum visits, no video games, no theatre, and have arts stripped from all their other experiences... no music in restaurants, at sporting events, bars, stores, nothing. No audio books or podcasts or music on their commute. After 30 days deprived of all contributions of artists, I would be interested to know if anyone would still say artists were drains on society and unworthy of life.

four year old memes still true today.

@Adjective_J

Listen no one is "vilifying" rich people. They ARE villains. If you run a billion dollar company, give yourself millions in dollars and benefits, but pay your individual workers less than a living wage and give them shitty insurance, what are you if not a villain?

@walruslifestyle We're hard-wired by the trauma I think to be more aware of potential dangers.

That said, it can be utilized to enjoy watching ants or other wildlife.

@IrisRichardson

Just one opinion...art certainly helps, but I'd suggest trying a professional counselor that specializes in trauma. You'll still do the bulk of the work, but a pro might be able to see things you can't.

Healing from trauma alone is a little like asking your car to fix its own engine.
